S INVE.-:TKATtOX8 OPTHE MONKEY. Mcmph in (Jam inrrcial. Prof. Gamer is said to bo preparing a complete dictionary of the monkey lang guage. The professor has great faith in the. future of the monkey and will do his best to bring him under the influence of civilization, to teach him she blessings of Christianity, aud in short to make him a man and a brother. Of course the first step, after which all the rest will be made easv, must, be to learn the Simiau dialect so as to be able to np 7 roai b tl. partially cvohttcd man of tie forest with c mli lenco i.i 1 on his own ground. The monkeys will probably make sport of Prof. Garner's brogue at, first and laugh at his grammatical errors but the monkey, though frivolous and found of his joke, is at the bottom a good natured animal, and we have no doubt that Garner and the monkeys will soon become fast friends. After Garner has mustered the moukey language he will no doubt begin his work of elevating the monkey race by teaching them to road and write and talk politics, and in the course of a few years some adventurous Stanley may find monkeys reading Shakespeare as they swing by their tails from the brauches of trees. And ptr haps the man of the future is the motikev. THE ECHO OP A KISS. The following interesting table of sta tistics is believed to possess a true scien tific accuracy.

CLEVE LAND WHICH REVEALS HIS HOPES AND PEARS. "The writings and speeches of Grover Cleveland," is a book which has very recently been published. Among the contents are private letters which have never before been made public. Below we reprint one addressed to his brother, the Rev. William N. Cleveland, while he was mayor of Buffalo and just after he had been elected Governor of New York. A man who expressed the sentiments contained in that letter can bo nothing else than an honest, loyal, true American citizen anxious to do right and looking to the right source for aid and guidance. Here is the letter verbatim : My Dear Brother: I have jo t voted. I sit here in the mayor's office alone, with the exception of an arti.-t from Frank Leslie's newspaper, who is sketching the office. If mother were here I should be writing to hor, and 1 feel as if it were time for me to write t . some one who will believe what I write. "I have been for some time in tho a mosphero of certain success, so that 1 have been sure that I should assume th duties of the high office for which I hav been named. I have tried hard, in tbi light of this fact, to appreciate ptrperh the responsibilities that will rest upon me, and they are much, too much under estimated. But the thought that has troubled mo is, can I well perform my duties, and in such a manner as to do some good to tho people of the Suite ? I know there is room for it, ami I know that I am honest and sincere in my de sire to do well; but the question is whether I know enough to accomplish what I desire. "Tho social life which seems to await mo has also been a subject of much auxious thought. I have a nolion that I cau regulate that very much as I desire; and, if I can, I shall spend very little in the purely ornamental part of the office. Io point of fact, I will tell yo j, first of all others, the policy I intend to adopt aud that is, to make the matter a business engagement between the people of the State and myself, in which the obligation on my side is to perform the duties assigned me with an eye single to the interest of my employers. I shall have no idea of re-election; or any higher political preferment in my head, but be very thankful and happy if 1 can well serve one term as the people's governor. Do you know that if mother were ulive I should feel so much safer? I Lave al ways though that her prayers bad much to do with my success. I so.t'i evpect you all to help me in that way. Your affectionate brother, Groveu Cleveland. WON'T TAKE WATEit. A parrot now occupyitii i i ce in the Zoological Hardens, llejjeul !',.', don, is said to have gone without water for fifty two years.
